MY JOURNEY

I entered the counseling field with the intention of being a helper. I did not expect to begin my own healing journey by restoring my cultural relationship. In working with the Native community, it has become my hope to engage with cultural practices that tend to be overlooked by Western medicine.

​

I've been blessed with guidance from spiritual leaders, members of the Native community, and the wisdom passed down through my own ancestors, leading me back to cultural practices. This personal journey has sparked a profound transformation in how I address clinical needs.

​

I have seen clients experience hope and healing by engaging in cultural practices. Continuing to contribute to the healing journey within and alongside the community remains both my privilege and my passion. As a result, I have been requested to create culturally relevant groups, speak on Native panels, and sought by universities to speak on counseling with the Native community.
